• Efficient feed chains: Create new opportunities to improve the efficiency of feed chains by optimizing the quantity of feed available for the animal, reducing losses, making better use of local resources, and creating new feed chains of alternative feed resources and byproducts of the food chain, thereby reducing wastes. • Improving the use of residues in animal production: More efficient recovery and recycling of food, feed, water, and animal waste, including P losses and N emission reduction.

Responsible Livestock Farming Systems • Assessing EU animal production: Develop an integrated European approach for the assessment of current systems and their efficiency that will lay out the future options for improving and redesigning animal production systems that contribute to social, environmental, and economic gains. Gain a better understanding of the contribution of animal production systems to community sustainability, or fragility, in Europe, in terms of other values than food products and to include this in the development and evaluation of production systems, for example, the possibility to use livestock farms in "green care," for recreation, for education, or development of rural areas and coastal zones.

with a view to identify routes for the implementation of this knowledge in the management of improved immune competence in livestock species and reduced health risk to humans. • Nutritional quality of animal products: Improve the nutritional value and health-promoting properties of food of animal origin in sustainable production system (e.g., the fatty acid profile of animal products, the amount of essential trace elements such as iodine or selenium and also critical nutrients such as calcium, zinc, or folate)

• Long-term consequences of environmental effects in early life: Better understanding of key environmental factors that impact later life; quantify the relative impact of early-life conditions on later health, welfare, and performance; and develop a chain approach to integrate this new knowledge in an integrated chain approach. • Enabling the predictive understanding of phenotypic expression: Create capability across Europe for the development of theory and applications to deliver predictive understanding of phenotypic expression in mammals and birds.
